Liu Bei followed Kong Ming's instructions and came here to gain a foothold. He wanted to salvage Cao Cao's war legacy.

No matter the ships and planks, war horses and soldiers, food and fodder, weapons or money.

Anyway, whatever floats down will be salvaged.

Supplies for an army of 830,000!

I don't believe that I can't make a nouveau riche!

And Tang Jian has the same purpose.

He wants to make some money from this and continue to grow himself.

Instead of running to Chibi to write off his hard-earned assets overnight.

Tang Jian looked at Liu Bei and thought, you old man, are you also picking up garbage here?

And Liu Bei also looked at Tang Jian, and the two of them laughed tacitly!

Zhao Yun also looked at Lu Kuang carefully.

Seeing Lu Kuang's sharp eyes and hidden murderous aura, he immediately thought he was extraordinary!

No wonder Tang Jian can be so arrogant. It turns out that he really has the capital to be arrogant.

And Liu Bei's side.

Since Kong Ming joined, Liu Bei no longer thought of his own strategies.

Because compared with Kong Ming, his strategies were shit.

So, the two of them had a clear division of labor.

Kong Ming was responsible for the strategies, while Liu Bei only needed to maintain his own benevolent and righteous personality.

So Liu Bei was very happy and said to Tang Jian:

"Today, a new batch of food arrived in the camp, including some fine wines, which should have been used to reward meritorious people."

"But Jianming captured 5,000 Cao soldiers with one plan and made great achievements, but he did not get any reward. Today, I would like to use this fine wine to thank Jianming on behalf of the Marquis of Wu, the Prince of Liu Qi, and the tens of millions of people in Jingzhou and Jiangdong."

"Please don't refuse, Jianming."

Ouch!

He is worthy of being the Emperor's Uncle Liu!

If an ordinary person was given this high hat, wouldn't he be so moved that he would wet his pants?

He also thanked me on behalf of the millions of people in Jiangdong and Jingzhou.

On the one hand, he used fine wine to appease himself for not being rewarded by Sun Quan.

On the other hand, he also used the collective emotion of "the gratitude of millions of people" to dilute his hatred for Sun Quan.

So that he could continue to stay on the side of the Sun-Liu alliance.

Help them continue to fight against Cao Cao.

Hiss! ! !

Tang Jian couldn't help but take a breath!

He always thought that Liu Bei was just tough and good at forbearance, and with Kong Ming's planning, he finally achieved great success.

But hearing what he said today, Tang Jian instantly understood-

This Liu Da'er's political literacy is really not low!

And Sun Quan, who was far away in Jianye, was far inferior to Liu Bei.

After Tang Jian discovered another characteristic of Liu Bei, he stopped refusing and said:

"This is not just my achievement, but the achievement of all the soldiers in my army."

"If you want to reward them, you should reward them all."

After hearing this, Liu Bei immediately felt that he had been fooled.

But he couldn't refuse, so he said:

"Of course, please come back to the camp with Jianming, and prepare good wine to reward the soldiers."

Tang Jian smiled faintly, and also took Lu Kuang and Liu Bei back to the camp.

Liu Bei's subordinates were also very efficient. They didn't have to wait too long, and the banquet was quickly arranged.

And the soldiers also arranged for someone to carry wine and meat.

In the tent, Liu Bei stood up and toasted, saying:

"Jianming has made great contributions this time. I will use this wine to toast Jianming on behalf of the people of the world."

Wow!

It's incredible, how did it become the people of the world again?

Could it be that I tricked Cao Cao into giving him 5,000 diarrheal men and saved the people of the world?

Of course, Tang Jian knew that this was Liu Bei's deliberate exaggeration.

His intention was to exaggerate and praise him.

Let himself feel proud and then work hard for them wholeheartedly.

But Tang Jian was sober, how could he be fooled?

At the moment, he just echoed a few words and didn't take it to heart.

After sitting down again, Liu Bei sent someone to pour wine.

Then he asked:

"Now, Han Dang is going to Chibi, and Shaxian only has Jianming and I."

"I wonder what Jianming plans to do in the future?"

Tang Jian drank the wine in one gulp, which was actually not good, just like a beverage with a higher alcohol content.

Then he began to look for opportunities to fight back while talking.

Since you want to trick me into staying to help you work.

I will take the opportunity to ask you to give up the right to salvage Cao's spoils.

Business is about give and take.

Otherwise, you want me to work for you just by drinking, making a big promise and saying a few nice words.

It's not that easy!

Tang Jian said, "Since the emperor's uncle is so kind, I will fight against Cao's army with him here."

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said, "Jianming is righteous! Bei, toast to Jianming again!"

Tang Jian raised his glass and drank it.

Then he said, "Uncle, I was originally a mercenary, hired by Sun Quan."

"AndNow, I want to contribute to the coalition, but Sun Quan won't tolerate it. "

"I have made contributions to the coalition, but Sun Quan won't reward me. Instead, he has repeatedly plotted to harm me."

"Excuse me, how can I continue to serve the coalition?"

After listening, Liu Bei thought for a while and quickly said:

"Let me write a letter to discuss this matter with the Marquis of Wu. I will definitely not treat Jianming unfairly."

Tang Jian waved his hand and said, "It's not that I don't trust my uncle."

"It's that I don't trust Sun Quan."

"I have more than 10,000 people under my command, all of whom are from poor backgrounds and have to support their families."

"You can't just use empty words to appease them, right? ”

Liu Bei didn’t expect Tang Jian to be so good at debate, and was a little speechless:

“This——”

Tang Jian saw that Liu Bei couldn’t continue, so he struck while the iron was hot:

“Why don’t you ask the emperor’s uncle to pay my commission, so that I won’t work with Sun Quan directly.”

“It doesn’t need to be much from you. We are all acquaintances. It only needs to be a little higher than the price Cao Cao gave. That’s it.”

After listening to this, Liu Bei’s face became a little indifferent.

This is the performance of him hiding his emotions in his heart and not showing his emotions.

“Jianming’s asking price, I’m afraid I can’t pay it.”

“Please Jianming, for the sake of——”

Tang Jian quickly interrupted Liu Bei and said:

“Uncle, I have another idea.”

“You don’t need the emperor’s uncle to allocate military expenses, and I can continue to fight against Cao Cao.”

After listening to this, Liu Bei’s eyes lit up and he immediately became interested:

“I wonder what good plan Jianming has? "

Tang Jian said: "That is - ask the emperor's uncle to withdraw from Shaxian, and give me the right to salvage all the spoils from the river."

"In this way, the emperor's uncle does not have to pay the commission, and I will still help fight Cao Cao."

"Kill two birds with one stone, isn't it wonderful?"

After listening to this, Liu Bei entered the indifferent state again.

Seeing that he could not agree for a long time, Tang Jian asked: "Or, the emperor's uncle would rather have those rags than let me help fight Cao?"

Liu Bei really couldn't stand Tang Jian's open and secret attacks.

It's not good to refuse, and it's not good not to refuse, and he was immediately in a dilemma!

At this moment, he also saw that Tang Jian, who was forced away by their tricks, would be so smart and cunning!
